2 weeks post relaxer. (Mid October)


Washday Routine


1. Prepoo with coconut oil. Put hair in shower cap. I like the feel of my hair when I pre poo with coconut oil
2. Section hair and detangle. I put a mix of Tresemme Naturals conditioner, aloe vera gel and water. Did not like the feel of it. I think it was the conditioner. Will not use it again. After I finished detangling life happened. Baby decided to be fussy so only continued after 2 hours
3. Rinse out
4. Wash hair with a moisturizing shampoo. I used Johnson’s and Johnson’s.
5. Used Tresemme Naturals moisturizing conditioner. Sat in shower cap for 5 mins. I really like it. I think I will buy it again. Rinsed it out.
6. Add hair mayonnaise. Left for 10 minutes and rinsed it out
7. T-shirt dry hair
8. Applied Kinky-Curly Knot Today leave in conditioner. Didn’t like it at all. Maybe I put too much. I prefer Dr. Miracles. Maybe because of the previous products used will try it with other products.
9. Apply mousse. Came with relaxer kit.
10. Blow dry hair. Was not planning to use heat until the next relaxer but unfortunately my curlformers and flexi rods did not come. Used a heat protectant though.
11. Applied olive oil hair lotion and then used a heavy oil. Cant remember the name. (One of the no-no’s I know, but was desperate)
12. Used rollers in the front part of hair.

Was finishing after midnight. Did not mange to take pictures.
But the result was not too bad. I don’t like the feel of my hair. Does not feel as soft as the last time. But it is moisturized to some extent. Experienced a lot of breakage. Also my hair looked heavy with all the products I had used. Mmmmh I must remember less is more.
Been wearing it in a pony tail for the past two days but will be putting it in a permanent style today. That should last me the week.
